The 1982 calendar that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee could be scrutinized by the FBI during its investigation into sexual assault allegations against him.

A July 1, 1982 entry on Kavanaugh’s calendar could face key questions from the FBI as they look into Ford’s allegations, The Washington Post reported Friday.

Kavanaugh is accused of sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford during a 1982 party when the two were high school students. He has fiercely denied Ford’s charges and sexual misconduct allegations from two other women.

Though Kavanaugh’s calendar makes no reference to Ford, Democrats have said the nominee’s calendar notes could corroborate Ford’s allegations. 

During Kavanaugh’s testimony before the Senate panel Thursday, he said he regularly noted his “small get-togethers” with his friends.

“Go to Timmy’s for skis with Judge, Tom, P.J., Bernie and Squi,” the entry from Kavanaugh, then 17, reads.

“Timmy,” according to Kavanaugh’s testimony, refers to his Georgetown Prep classmate Tim Gaudette. The other two people named are Mark Judge and Patrick “P.J.” Smyth, Kavanaugh noted. “Squi” refers to his friend Chris Garrett.

According to the Post, two of the people who Ford has claimed were in attendance the night she said she was attacked are listed on Kavanaugh’s July 1 calendar entry.

Ford testified that at least four boys, one whose name she could not remember, and one other girl were at the gathering.

The girl, Ford’s friend Leland Keyser, was her classmate at the private girls school Holton-Arms.

Others said to be at the party said they did not recall the party described by Ford.

Keyser told The Post that she believes Ford is telling the truth although she does not remember being at the party.

“Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford,” Keyser’s attorney, Howard Walsh, wrote to the committee this week.

Smyth’s lawyer wrote in a letter to the committee, obtained by the Post, that he would be “happy to cooperate” with the FBI probe.

Judge, who Ford says was in the room during Kavanaugh’s alleged assault, also agreed to cooperate.

“I do not recall the events described by Dr. Ford,” he wrote in a letter. “I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes.”
